Not on my computer :-( The entry for Combobox reads:

"Platform SDK: SDK Tools
COMBOBOX Control

The COMBOBOX resource-definition statement creates a combination box 
control (a combo box). A combo box consists of either a static text box 
or an edit box combined with a list box. The list box can be displayed 
at all times or pulled down by the user. If the combo box contains a 
static text box, the text box always displays the selection (if any) in 
the list box portion of the combo box. If it uses an edit box, the user 
can type in the desired selection; the list box highlights the first 
item (if any) that matches what the user has entered in the edit box. 
The user can then select the item highlighted in the list box to 
complete the choice. In addition, the combo box can be owner-drawn and 
of fixed or variable height.


COMBOBOX id, x, y, width, height [, style [, extended-style]]



style
Control styles. This value can be a combination of the COMBOBOX class 
styles and any of the following styles: WS_TABSTOP, WS_GROUP, 
WS_VSCROLL, and WS_DISABLED.
If you do not specify a style, the default style is CBS_SIMPLE | WS_TABSTOP.

For more information on the text, id, x, y, width, height, style, and 
extended-style parameters, see Common Control Parameters.


Example

This example creates a combo-box control with a vertical scroll bar:

COMBOBOX 777, 10, 10, 50, 54, CBS_SIMPLE | WS_VSCROLL | WS_TABSTOP
